How tall is the current Stanley Cup trophy?

The current Stanley Cup trophy stands 35.25 inches tall.

The trophy is not the exact silver bowl donated by Lord Stanley in 1892. The original Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup was much smaller, measuring about 18.5 centimetres high. The modern trophy is topped by a copy of that original bowl, mounted above several engraved bands and a barrel-shaped base.

Its height is often confused with the dimensions of the original bowl or with rough estimates such as 36 inches. The Cup also weighs about 34.5 pounds, making it both taller and heavier than many championship trophies. Unlike most major sports trophies, it is not remade every year; the winning team receives the same historic Cup during its championship celebrations.

The engraved structure has changed over time. A 1947 reduction and the 1958 redesign helped create the recognizable modern form, while full bands are periodically removed and preserved at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
